my film fest sched [updated]

Saturday: Erik Nietzsche The Early Years (Jacob Thuesen)
this was interesting: written by famous Danish director Lars von Trier (Breaking the Waves, Dancer in the Dark), it's the story of his experience at Stockholm's government-sponsored film school in the late seventies (von Trier's actual student films are strewn throughout.) it was quite funny, and a very good window into the history and motivation of this famously ruthless artist

Sunday: Joy Division (Grant Gee)
Vanessa and i loved this one: an extremely well-made documentary about one of the most influential bands of the last century. Grant Gee, who also directed Radiohead's Meeting People is Easy, took us back in time to 1979 Manchester through his masterly use of interviews, music, photography, and rare live performances .... i haven't stopped listening to Unknown Pleasures since i left the theatre

Monday: No Country for Old Men (Joel & Ethan Coen)
intense. beautiful. brilliant performances by Josh Brolin and Javier Bardem (who was also wonderful in The Sea Inside). the Coen brothers have done it again

Tuesday: In the Valley of Elah (Paul Haggis)
Wednesday: Encounters at the End of the World (Werner Herzog)
Thursday: Man of Cinema: Pierre Risseent (Todd McCarthy)
Saturday: Man from Plains (Jonathan Demme)
